Ideas come and quickly go
Striving to be
The one You know
And in the struggle
Comes the Word
You have heard
I am known
Surrender begins the journey
It makes me fear
What will be tomorrow?
Who will be near?
Your hand calms my fear
I am is...

The Plan is you
Complete and true
Straight from His heart
Making a blessing of you
Written before
Foundations were laid
Every detail expressed
Making a blessing of you
Where you are
Is where you should be
Surrender your life
He died on your...

All around
Friends in need
Sometimes things
Sometimes thoughts
Prayer makes a difference
Expanding my heart
Giving room for action
By the Lord’s chosen art
Never do I remember
What the moment was
A thought for a friend
Taken to the...

Alive to God
That’s what I want
I need to hear His word
I’m God created; Jesus saved and Spirit-filled
David is a pattern
His life a joy to see
In Psalm 18 he hollers out

David leaps for Goliath
Confident of...

Jesus comes to where I am
He is looking for me
Living in this place on earth
Christ comes and gives me worth
Jesus has a plan for me
He wants me to know
That where I am
Is exactly the place I should go
All the ages praise Him
He brings meaning...

Jesus came speaking
Words we had not heard
Telling us of heaven
Revealing evil’s plot
Eternal condemnation
For those that stay with self
Eternal friendship with us
If we choose Jesus way
Man is a complex creature
Yet life is very plain
We...

You there must beware
Christians are set free
Freedom demands of me
Control the way I live
See the one that comes to me
Angry at the way I do
Listen to their pain
Know their name
Don’t hurt them
Forgive them from the start
People need...

I want to read
I know it’s good
I’ve failed today
To read Your way
Teach me self-control
To take my time
Build my soul
Reading God’s law
A gift of grace
To love the Word
Stick it on my heart
Reading makes me whole
Christ is in...

Living well
See my things
All around is wealth
My heart deceives me
Out of control
Self maintained
Refusing Jesus’ way
Calling my shots today
Seeking after fleeting fame
I want them to remember my name
Never said but always there
